A construction worker named Sean Dow was working on the 22nd floor of Pfizer's former Manhattan headquarters, a massive office building now being converted into residential apartments with additional floors being added.Dow noticed cracks in a concrete slab. When he investigated further, he found a structural column visibly bending. But when he raised the concern, the initial response from the general contractor was reportedly, “Don't worry, you'll work on the floor below.”Dow kept pushing. Workers were evacuated, and investigators later found floors sagging by as much as four inches.The story illustrates an important distinction in psychological safety. People remain silent not only because they fear punishment, but also because they believe speaking up will accomplish nothing.A genuine speak-up culture requires concerns to feel both safe to raise and worthwhile to raise. The real test is not whether leaders say they welcome concerns. It is what they do in the first minute after someone brings one forward.Do they dismiss the concern and offer reassurance without investigating? Or do they respond with curiosity and say, “Show me”?An organization that depends on unusually persistent workers to overcome a dismissive first response is not operating a strong safety culture. It is operating on luck.

ParaTruth: Reborn July 7th, 2026 EP: 101 Reality Bending, Prayer & Energy Mastery w/Michael Monk This week on ParaTruth: Reborn, Justin and Erik interview Michael Monk, healer, spiritual teacher, and founder of the Avatar Energy Mastery Institute. Michael's journey began in 1999 after he says he received a powerful communication from the voice of God, followed by many experiences of reality-bending miracles through prayer. Seeking to understand those experiences led him into spiritual energy mastery, healing, clairvoyance, out-of-body travel, telekinesis, and mastery of mind and body. In this episode, we explore safe clairvoyance, telekinesis, spiritual discernment, prayer, energy mastery, and the responsibility that comes with developing metaphysical abilities. Can these abilities be explored safely? Are they gifts, skills, or signs of something deeper within human potential? Join us as we step beyond the veil. Guest Bio: Michael Monk is a healer and teacher of spirituality, metaphysics, and energy mastery with a focused devotion to God. His journey began in 1999 when he spontaneously received a powerful communication from the voice of God, followed by many experiences of reality-bending miracles through prayer. Seeking to understand the mechanisms behind the miracles he experienced led him to the arts of spiritual energy mastery. Guided by the Holy Spirit, Michael quickly obtained a very high level of conscious understanding and demonstrable abilities, including a telekinetic influence over the elements. He created the Avatar Energy Mastery Institute in 2011, an online school where thousands of people from all over the world have been able to successfully study and train in the arts of healing, clairvoyance, out-of-body travel, telekinesis, and mastery of mind and body.

The Conflux Collective is a group of musicians collaborating on genre bending progressive technical death metal releasing their new album "In The Wake of Saturn."After years of dormancy, reinvention, and sheer force of will, The Conflux Collective erupts back into the extreme‑metal landscape with the announcement of their long‑awaited debut LP, "In the Wake of Saturn," arriving June 19th, 2026. Alongside the album announcement, the band has released the first single and lyric video, “Reincarnation,” a ferocious statement of rebirth that sets the tone for the album's uncompromising vision.Born from a chance reunion between guitarist Chase Fraser (Continuum, ex‑Decrepit Birth, ex‑Animosity) and drummer Tommy McKinnon (Derelict, Akurion, ex‑Neuraxis, ex‑Augury), The Conflux Collective began as a spontaneous spark, one that quickly ignited into a creative explosion. Within their first hour of jamming, a full song had formed; within six weeks, their debut EP, "The Inception," was complete. But the band's evolution was far from linear.After life circumstances forced the project into years of silence, McKinnon resurrected The Conflux Collective with a renewed sense of purpose. Armed with unreleased material from Fraser and a determination to finish what they started, he rebuilt the album from the ground up, writing new songs, reconstructing arrangements, recording all bass tracks by ear, and crafting lyrics drawn from deeply personal turmoil, transformation, and catharsis.To bring the record fully to life, McKinnon assembled a powerhouse roster of extreme‑metal vocalists whose performances became the album's emotional core: Jesse Brint (Gross Misconduct), Mallika Sundaramurthy (Emasculator, ex‑Abnormality), Jeffrey Mott (The Monster Factory, Growlers Choir, Hollow), Eric Burnet (Derelict, Samskaras), and Max Lusier (Derelict), who also contributes a blistering guitar solo.The result is "In the Wake of Saturn," a progressive, brutal, melodic, and deeply human exploration of loss, survival, and rebirth. Across eight tracks, the album bridges the raw ferocity of '90s death metal with the precision and ambition of modern tech‑death, unfolding like a narrative guided by shifting voices and emotional intensity.“In the Wake of Saturn is a journey through pain, fear, defeat, survival, and finally rebirth. It's a transformative experience that was created out of the necessity for change… a true underground monster made for those who seek the unusual,” says Tommy McKinnon.The album's first single, “Reincarnation,” was originally written by Fraser during the project's early years. The track embodies the album's themes of resilience and renewal.“The Conflux Collective lives again, and this song tells the story of rebirth and resilience… It gives an impression of how the album sounds as a whole, with all the elements explored in depth in the other songs,” adds McKinnon Featuring a commanding vocal performance by Jeffrey Mott, “Reincarnation” delivers intricate drum work, uncompromising guitar lines, and the unmistakable intensity that defines The Conflux Collective's sound.Watch and listen to the lyric video for “Reincarnation,” via its premiere on Decibel Magazine HERE. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nce0-kz3nTk​Though the project has no plans for live performances, The Conflux Collective stands as a testament to collaboration without boundaries, a convergence of some of extreme music's most creative voices.Recommended for fans of Cryptopsy, Necrophagist, Decrepit Birth, Augury, and Beyond Creation, "In the Wake of Saturn" will be available on all digital platforms as of June 19th, 2026.Album pre-save - confluxcollective.bandcamp.com/​  credits released June 19, 2026Guitar: Chase Fraser (Continuum);Vocals: Eric Burnet (Derelict), Max Lussier (Derelict), Jesse Brint (Gross Misconduct), Mallika Sundaramurthy (Emasculator), Jeff Mott (Hollow, Monster Factory);Additional guitar, bass, and drums: Tommy McKinnon;Track 1,2, 3, 6.

Christina Hello, everyone, I'm Christina Darnell, the managing editor of MinistryWatch. Welcome to the MinistryWatch podcast. In today's extra episode, I talk with Warren Smith about some news items that are slightly (even significantly) outside of our normal charity and philanthropy “beat.” So, Warren, what's up first? Warren The Episcopal Church Center in Midtown Manhattan, commonly referred to as “815” because of its street address, 815 Second Ave., is for sale.For critics of the church, the building became a symbol of the bureaucracy and isolation of the denomination's leadership. Christina Its sale now represents the continued decline of the denomination. Warren “We've done a detailed analysis about the best use of the building, with consultants and architects,” Chief Financial Officer Chris Lacovara said in a church news release. “We occupy a fraction of the Church Center space now, and the conclusion is that we don't need to own and occupy a building in midtown Manhattan.” Christina The building is 12 stories high and has about 146,000 square feet of office space. Warren In 1965, the Episcopal Church had about 3.4 million people. Today, membership is officially listed at about 1.5 million, but less than a half-million attend Episcopal Churches on any given Sunday. Christina Next up, new data from Lifeway, but you have some concerns. Warren I do. I am a big data guy, but recent research from Lifeway does not pass my sniff test. Lifeway says that Gen Z adults who are regular churchgoers attend church at greater rates than other age cohorts. Christina So…regular church attend church regularly? Seems like you wouldn't need a survey to come to that conclusion. Warren Exactly. The premise of the survey is strange. It is like saying, “In Texas, there are a high percentage of Texans.” Secondly, the Gen Z result is a serious outlier. “While the median churchgoer in each generation attends four worship services each month, the average Gen Z churchgoer attends a worship service at their church 6.2 times a month,” a statement from Lifeway said. This compares with “4.8 times for millennials, 5.1 for Gen X and 4.5 for baby boomers and older. This implies that while the typical Gen Z churchgoer attends at a similar frequency to other generations, there is a portion of young adults who attend at much higher rates.” Christina But other data we've reported on suggest that Gen Z is in fact not more religious. So what's going on here? Warren The evidence increasingly suggests not a broad-based Gen Z revival, but a “committed remnant” phenomenon—fewer young adults in church, but those who are there are often attending with greater frequency and intentionality than previous generations of young adults. Christina Moving on…. Alliance of Responsible Citizenship (ARC) is meeting in London this week. Warren ARC claims to be an international movement of conservative thinkers, political leaders, business executives, academics, journalists, and religious leaders that seeks to renew the cultural, moral, and institutional foundations of Western civilization. Christina Founded in 2023 by figures including Jordan Peterson and Philippa Stroud, ARC describes its mission as helping to “re-lay the foundations of our civilization” by promoting responsibility, free institutions, strong families, economic opportunity, and a renewed sense of cultural confidence. Warren About 4,000 are gathered, from more than 85 countries. Many observers have dubbed it the “Conservative Davos” or the “anti-woke Davos.” Among this year’s speakers are Boris Johnson, Jordan Peterson, Arthur Brooks, Andy Crouch, Eric Metaxas, and Ross Douthat. Christina For Christians, ARC is particularly notable because Christian faith is not merely a side topic but a recurring theme. Warren Evangelical, Catholic, and Orthodox leaders are prominent participants, reflecting ARC’s belief that cultural renewal requires moral and spiritual renewal as well. Rod Dreher has been posting all week from London, and some of his posts have been pretty humorous. A nerd's view from the cool kids' table, you might say. You can find one of those posts here. Christina As we have reported here at MinistryWatch, Bethany Christian Services, one of the nation's largest adoption and foster care organizations, has reaffirmed its commitment to a biblical sexual ethic. Warren This reaffirmation requires staff, board members and foster and adoptive families to “personally agree and adhere to” a belief statement that defines marriage as “a covenant between one man and one woman.” Christina Katy Faust, a conservative activist who believes same-sex couples should not be parents, celebrated the change. On X, Faust said it was evidence that the “vibe shift” is having a “measurable impact.” Warren It is too early for me to declare a “vibe shift,” but I hope she is right. In any case, it is likely not to impact adoption and foster care efforts much, since the number of LGBTQ+ folk who adopt children are small. According to the Williams Institute, about 35,000 same-sex couples are raising adopted children. That is certainly significant, but the significance diminishes when you consider that about 1.8 million children in the U.S., between 2 and 3 percent of all children, are living with adoptive parents. Supporting Faust's claim of a “vibe shift” is a recent Gallup survey suggesting that 65 percent of Americans still favor legal same-sex marriage, but that's six percentage points fewer than its peak in 2022-2023. Similarly, the percentage of Americans who view gay or lesbian relations and gender transitions as morally acceptable have fallen since the early 2020s. Christina Finally, we have some good news here at MinistryWatch. Warren I am pleased to let you know that MinistryWatch has received a grant from the Fund for Investigative Journalism to help us with investigative reporting in the coming year. Christina The FIJ is a nonprofit organization founded in 1969 that supports in-depth, public-interest investigative reporting by providing grants, editorial guidance, and legal assistance to journalists. Warren Its mission is to help reporters pursue stories that expose corruption, wrongdoing, abuses of power, and other issues of significant public concern that might otherwise go uncovered. Over its history, FIJ has awarded thousands of grants to freelance and staff journalists, helping launch investigations that have appeared in major outlets such as The New York Times, ProPublica, NPR, Frontline, The Washington Post, and many regional news organizations. The organization is widely regarded as one of the leading philanthropic supporters of investigative journalism in the United States. Christina Any final thoughts before we go?

When the Allan Memorial Institute opened its doors in 1943, its founders believed it would revolutionize mental health care. Under the direction of Dr. Ewen Cameron, however, the hospital started down a dark path – barbaric treatments, patients begging to go home, and a dark place nobody wanted to enter known as “The Sleep Room.” It would take decades for the world to learn about Cameron's experiments – and the CIA's part in them.

Welcome to Science Quest!

In this high-frequency episode, Emily is joined by international luxury transformation mentor and elite frequency advisor, Jenna Black. Speaking from the East Coast of Sydney, Australia, Jenna brings her potent, audacious frequency to The Emily the Mystic Show to dismantle everything you think you know about money energetics. As a Cancer Sun/Moon and Taurus Rising, Jenna works with seven- and eight-figure global founders at the exact intersection of wealth and God consciousness. Her signature brand, WOMAN OF WEALTH®, is built on a singular sovereign truth: you do not affirm wealth, and you do not try to become wealth, you recognize that you are of wealth. From surviving a severe "minus 10 cents" rock-bottom train station moment to learning how to command reality through multi-dimensional visualization, Jenna lays down the blueprint for true financial and spiritual legacy. In This Episode, We Cover: The Mother Archetype and the Home: How Jenna weaves her foundational Cancer and Taurus energy to create deeply nurturing, luxurious containers that feel safe, grounded, and inherently alive. Archangel Michael as a Childhood Friend: Jenna shares memories from growing up as a highly sensitive child on a rural golf course, communicating with spirits, and later realizing her childhood imaginary friend was Archangel Michael. The Rock-Bottom Train Ticket: A look at Jenna's pivot point in her late twenties, staring at a minus 10 cents bank balance while her partner was hospitalized, and how that intense season of isolation forced her back into her absolute sovereignty. Money as a Mirror of Power: Why money is a tiny fraction of true wealth. Jenna explains why a bank account is never an independent external force, but a direct, holographic projection of your inner power. Bending the Quantum Field: Understanding the "Divine Rearrangement" and why the silent, liminal void in your business is actually a sign that your old reality is dissolving to make room for your new standard. The Multi-6 to 8-Figure Identity Spectrum: A breakdown of how business energetics shift across income thresholds: Up to Six Figures: The "playground era" of experimentation, where the biggest pitfall is replicating someone else's 10-step strategy instead of trusting your original soul yes.

Today, we're putting The Tonearm's needle on George Grella, one of the sharpest music critics working today.George is the music editor of The Brooklyn Rail and has written for The Wire, the New York Times, and, luckily for us, The Tonearm.George just published Minimalist Music, part of Bloomsbury's 33⅓ Genre series. His central argument is that minimalism isn't defined by sparse materials or specific harmonies; it's defined by how it uses time. Understanding that distinction impacts how we approach and hear the music, and what happens to this music when its originators are gone.We talk about that thesis, the line between minimalism and post-minimalism, and what it takes to build a life in music writing. We also take a detour into John Zorn's visual art.The musical excerpts heard in the interview are Terry Riley - “In C” (performed by Bang on a Can All-Stars on the album In C ), Philip Glass - "Music in Twelve Parts: Part 1" (performed by The Philip Glass Ensemble on the album Music in Twelve Parts), and Steve Reich - “Drumming: Pt III” (performed by Steve Reich and Musicians on the album Drumming).—Dig DeeperGuest and BookVisit George Grella Jr. at The Brooklyn Rail where he serves as music editor, and on The Tonearm, where he is a contributorSubscribe to his Substack newsletter, Kill Yr Idols,, and follow him on BlueskyPurchase Minimalist Music (Bloomsbury Academic, 2026) from Bloomsbury, Bookshop.org, Powell's Books, Barnes & Noble, Amazon, or your other retailer of choiceRead Grella's Substack post "Minimalism at the End" — the piece discussed in this episodeGeorge Grella Jr.'s previous book: Miles Davis' Bitches Brew (Bloomsbury, 2015) — part of the 33⅓ seriesKey ComposersSteve Reich — official websitePhilip Glass — official websiteMeredith Monk — official websiteMorton Feldman — WikipediaLa Monte Young — WikipediaArvo Pärt — official websiteLouis Andriessen — WikipediaJohn Zorn — Tzadik websiteKey Works DiscussedMusic for 18 Musicians — Steve ReichElectric Counterpoint — Steve ReichDrumming — Steve ReichDifferent Trains — Steve ReichEinstein on the Beach — Ictus, Suzanne Vega, Collegium Vocale Gent (VLEK, 2025) — the recording discussed in this episodeGlassworks — Philip GlassPanthalassa: The Music of Miles Davis 1969–1974 — reconstructed and mixed by Bill Laswell (Sony, 1998)Kind of Blue — Miles DavisEnsembles and OrganizationsBang on a Can — including the Bang on a Can All-Stars and the annual Long Play FestivalSō Percussion — Grammy-winning percussion quartetIctus Ensemble — Brussels-based contemporary music ensembleReferenced BooksOn Minimalism: Documenting a Musical Movement — Kerry O'Brien and William Robin (University of California Press, 2023)Kerry O'Brien and William Robin on The Tonearm PodcastThe Rest Is Noise: Listening to the Twentieth Century — Alex Ross (Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2007)ExhibitionJohn Zorn: Hermetic Cartography — The Drawing Center, New York (February 7–May 11, 2025).

The U.S. Constitution gives Congress the power to declare war. Congress hasn't formally done so since 1942. Brian Finucane, a former State Department lawyer and current senior adviser at the International Crisis Group, joins Matt to make sense of how that happened — and what it means now that the United States is at war with Iran. Brian has spent years arguing, across administrations of both parties, that executive branch war-making has drifted dangerously far from its constitutional moorings. Operation Epic Fury, he contends, is the most consequential test of that argument yet.Subscribe and share to stay ahead in the world of intelligence, global issues, and current affairs.Follow Brian on Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/bcfinucane.bsky.socialConnect with Brian on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/brian-finucane-15a5652bPlease share this episode using these linksAudio: https://pod.fo/e/41d13cYouTube: https://youtu.be/TUYI1DqO-CAFurther reading"What the Iran War Reveals About the War Powers Resolution and How Congress Can Act" by Tess Bridgeman & Brian Finucane | Just Security: https://www.justsecurity.org/137977/iran-hostilities-war-powers-restart-clock/"On the State Department Memorandum 'Operation Epic Fury and International Law'" by Brian Finucane | Just Security: https://www.justsecurity.org/137097/state-department-epic-fury-international-law/"An Unserious Justification for an Unnecessary War: Assessing the U.S. 'Article 51' Letter to U.N. on Iran War" by Brian Finucane | Just Security: https://www.justsecurity.org/134290/us-article-51-letter-united-nations/"Senate Votes to Take Up Measure to Force Trump to End Iran War" by Megan Mineiro | The New York Times: https://www.nytimes.com/2026/05/19/us/politics/senate-iran-war-authorization.html"Bending the Guardrails: U.S. War Powers after 7 October" by Brian Finucane | International Crisis Group: https://www.crisisgroup.org/rpt/united-states/009-bending-guardrails-us-war-powers-after-7-octoberSupport Secrets and SpiesBecome a “Friend of the Podcast” on Patreon for £3/$4: https://www.patreon.com/SecretsAndSpiesBuy merchandise from our shop: https://www.redbubble.com/shop/ap/60934996Buy us a coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/secretsandspiesSubscribe to our YouTube page: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCDVB23lrHr3KFeXq4VU36dgFor more information about the podcast, check out our website: https://secretsandspiespodcast.comConnect with us on social media Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/secretsandspies.bsky.socialInstagram: https://instagram.com/secretsandspiesFacebook: https://facebook.com/secretsandspiesSpoutible: https://spoutible.com/SecretsAndSpiesFollow Chris and Matt on Bluesky:https://bsky.app/profile/chriscarrfilm.bsky.socialhttps://bsky.app/profile/mattfulton.netSecrets and Spies is produced by Films & Podcasts LTD: https://filmsandpodcasts.co.uk/Music by Andrew R.

In this episode of In the Room, John Williams and Christopher Shea sit down with the team behind Kill Me, which premiered at SXSW 2026.Director Peter Warren, producer Natalie Metzger, and producer Keith Goldberg discuss the film's unusual premise, a murder mystery where the body becomes the detective, and how that idea opened the door to a story about mental health, depression, comedy, mystery, and survival.The conversation explores how Charlie Day came aboard, why Allison Williams, Giancarlo Esposito, and Aya Cash were such powerful additions to the cast, and what it takes to support a first-time director without diluting the filmmaker's vision. They also break down the realities of indie production, shooting in Utah, designing a lean but ambitious set, and protecting performance at every stage.For filmmakers, actors, producers, and anyone curious about how a movie moves from script to screen, this episode offers a rare look inside the creative and practical decisions that shape a film before it meets an audience.

n this episode of Selective Ignorance, Mandii B is joined by super producer A-King, headline king Jason “Jah” Lee, and special guest Jamila Bell as they blend NBA playoff predictions, celebrity relationships, and cultural commentary into a layered and entertaining conversation that moves from sports to global culture to real-life relationship patterns. The episode kicks off with Mandi's excursion to Ghana and expands to a deeper conversation around carnival culture in Ghana, colorism, and the gap between expectation and reality when traveling abroad [ 02:13] [ 14:26 ]. The crew continues with honest reflections on travel preferences and cultural experiences [ 20:55 ], then pivots into a sharp take on Cinco de Mayo and cultural appropriation [ 31:01 ], followed by more NBA playoff breakdowns and second-round analysis [ 32:22 ]. From there, the discussion expands into legacy conversations around Ja Morant and Karl Malone [ 40:56 ], before diving into the headline relationship between Megan Thee Stallion and Klay Thompson, unpacking cheating, accountability, and dating dynamics in the public eye [ 44:10 ][ 46:58 ]. As the episode progresses, the hosts explore patterns in modern relationships, the illusion of change, and the impact of social media on personal decision-making [ 51:00 ][ 55:05 ], while also addressing how people repeatedly choose the same type of partners and navigate non-monogamy, loyalty, and public scrutiny [ 01:00:59 ][ 01:05:11 ]. The conversation then broadens into accountability for public figures during personal scandals [ 01:09:59 ] and the recurring patterns seen in celebrity dating culture [ 01:22:10 ], before taking a more serious turn into discussions about abuse, exploitation, and the darker side of fame [ 01:29:09 ]. Closing out, the crew zooms out to examine capitalism, class disparities, and the illusion of the American Dream [ 01:41:09 ][ 01:52:03 ], delivering a conversation that’s equal parts humorous, reflective, and socially aware—tying together sports, culture, and real-life relationship lessons in a way that feels both current and necessary.

In this episode of Friday Conversation, we sit down with acclaimed author Lincoln Michel, known for Metallic Realms, The Body Scout, and his thought-provoking work across fiction and criticism for a deep dive into the craft, business, and future of storytelling.Lincoln walks us through his writing journey, from discovering his voice through art and literature to navigating MFA programs, publishing, and teaching creative writing. We explore how genre fiction, constraints, and experimentation shape his work, and how he blends sci-fi, noir, and literary influences into something uniquely his own.We also get into the realities of modern publishing, the shrinking “midlist,” and what it means to be an author in a world increasingly influenced by AI. Along the way, Lincoln shares insights on creativity, storytelling structure, and why constraints can actually unlock better writing.Plus, we preview his upcoming novel Haunted Hills, a haunted house concept with a wild twist and talk about influences ranging from Kafka and Calvino to Stephen King and cyberpunk classics.If you're a writer, reader, or just someone who loves great conversations about books, this is one you don't want to miss.Send us a message (I'm not able to reply)Support the showPage Chewing BlogPage Chewing ForumFilm Chewing PodcastSpeculative Speculations Podcast Support the podcast via PayPalSupport the show by using our Amazon Affiliate linkJoin Riverside.fm Co-Hosts:JarrodVarsha ChrisJoseCarl D.
